Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the secondary crystallization process of low-isotacticity polypropylene (LT-PP). LT-PP demonstrates an exceptionally low crystallization rate at room temperature, which is approximately 1/5000 lower than that of isotactic PP (iPP). During the secondary crystallization of LT-PP at 30 °C, the thickness of lamellar (c-axis) and a- and b-axes of crystallite size remained constant. In addition, no significant change was observed in the CC-C bending vibration. It seems that the direction of the CC-C molecular order is similar to the thickness direction. This vibration mode may be associated with changes in the thickness of the lamellae. To explain the log(t) dependence of crystallinity, the Seto–Frank model was employed.
期刊介绍：
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
